Task Ninja Backend

Task Ninja is a simple todo application backend built using Go (Golang), Gorilla Mux, and MongoDB.

Features

• Create, read, update, and delete tasks
• Store tasks in a MongoDB database
• RESTful API endpoints for simple task management

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Go (Golang): Make sure you have Go installed on your system. You can download it from the official website: Go Downloads

• MongoDB: You'll need a running MongoDB server. You can install it locally or use a cloud-based service.

• Gorilla Mux: We'll use Gorilla Mux for routing. Install it using:

  go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux
  

• MongoDB Go driver: We'll use the official MongoDB Go driver. Install it using:

  go get go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver
  

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/priyanshupatra02/task_ninja_backend.git
   cd task_ninja_backend

2. Set up your environment variables .env:

   
   const (
       dbHost     = "<your-host-url-copied-from-mongoDB"
       dbName     = "<as-set-in-your-mongoDB"
       collection = "<as-set-in-your-mongoDB>"
   )
   

3. Build and run the server:

   go build .
   go run main.go
